Short Introduction of Prayer in NT

Cullmann's book (translated from the French) provides a complete study of the doctrine of prayer in the New Testament (prayer in the Synoptics, John, Paul; prayer and human weakness, prayer and the question of evil, how to pray, the Our Father and doubts about prayer). Though some hard questions about prayers were left unanswered, I find this book a good start to better understand how we may pray more effectively.
